Hello everyone. should i worry about rounding errors when installing, during disk configuration?

i have four rounding errors.

Is it something to worry about? Not really... If you are using the GUI install, you can switch to blocks and adjust the partition size in blocks instead of MB GB etc... This usually gets rid of the rounding error...

as long as you don't have overlapping partitions a rounding error is nothing to worry about
